According to “The Nielsen Company Research Group,” Black consumers are speaking directly to brands in unprecedented ways and achieving headline-making results. Through social media, Black consumers have brokered a seat at the table and are demanding that brands and marketers speak to them in ways that resonate culturally and experimentally, that is if these brands want their business. And, with African Americans spending $1.2 trillion annually, brands have a lot to lose.
